Vince Young (Bert this one's for you)

Just a quick stat line on the "star" QB of the Titans:

"Not only has Vince Young not passed for 200 yards in a single game this season...in his last four starts he has thrown for a grand total of 429 yards, 0 touchdowns and 6 interceptions."

Bert, he has 3tds and 8 picks this season. I saw this and thought of you after our conversation yesterday. JB said he made the Pro Bowl last year (not sure - don't remember cuz that's a joke game), but if he did he did it with a 51.5% completion, 12td and 13 picks. I know he's young (pun not intended), but he's very clearly not the reason for the Titans winning.

I think it's safe to say that a dominant (or even decent) QB isn't necessary to win in the NFL. The Titans are doing it in the toughest division (in my opinion) in football with the 2nd lowest rated passer in the league (his 61.5 is only better than Alex Smith).

Kudos to the Titans defense/running game.
